What Will We Find At A Bike Shop??

[@chrishorbatt3504]

Always good to support local bike shops when you can.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Agreed 👍

[@mtbboy1993]

If they are a proper bikeshop and do good work, and treat consumer right, even if bike brand refuses, then yes. Have stuff you actually want or is willing to improve. Then yes. If they treat you like trash, and and bike brand refuses warranty, and bkekhsop refuses it, or a refund, or do bad work, or don't have a clue what they are doing. Then please don't. I don't have a proper bike shop near me, only an Intersport. I don't shop there much, as they rarely have stuff I need. Now they don't even have the hand cleaner I bought there. So I bought some at Würth instead. Some years ago I bought a multi-tool. I shop online, and get wha ti need where it is in stock. And buy the best product I can get.

Just bought the 2023 trek roscoe 7 in black. That bike is the shiiiit!!!!!! Best bike i ever rode to date!!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

CONGRATS MAN!! Glad to hear you are happy with it, always helps when you have a bike you feel confident on

[@clivengauge]

Nice to goto your local shop and see the help you get all the knowledge they have on bikes is great good to see you out and about great video 👍

[@thebikechick80]

Loved the vid guys :) My fav thing about the bike shop is our customers y’all truly light me up, keep me smiling & give me the drive to keep raising $ for the TrailZ. I am truly blessed to have the best job on the planet 🌎 selling Epic bikes & talking bikes 11hrs a day :) Keep supporting local bike shops they keep trails funded & keep people on bikes..

[@grimaceg1253]

Thanks for the shout out 😀. Again, it was great seeing you guys and wish the weather had been better.

[@elwoodkotil2538]

Been there, everyone at Simpson's is great! Wish you had done some full squish stuff! Super video!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Thanks brother, we enjoyed our visit👍

[@greenleafycabbage8715]

Man those Trek hardtails are my dream bikes. My favourite is the Roscoe 6 which have a plus tires

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

They are some nice looking bikes. 👌

[@PHFishingBiking]

Nice! Cant go wrong with a Trek bike that's for sure!

[@gregnowak2492]

That's great that you guys are traveling around a little bit, and meeting other folks. What's better, we all get to meet them as well. Great job as always!

[@PmatWolf]

That was a great little episode, nice that bike chick and her hubby are very knowledgeable and passionate about their business especially the bikes, Here in UK I've visited many many bike shops and NONE of the staff have the foggiest about their stock. i can tell if i went into that shop right there id be walking out spending more money than i had intended but that's a good thing as i know I'd be leaving with a good bike. Well done guys another great episode

[@thatbikedude82]

Love it!! Had fun with you guys!!

[@pewpewbbqs]

I'm a little upset you didn't show us the ebikes!!! lol

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣🤣Don't Be!!! They were a little more money 😜

[@davidgarza2267]

Super informative video for those wondering on the price of bike shop bikes. Something to keep in mind when comparing is that the Roscoe is a trail bike and Xcaliber is a cross country bike. Geometry and tire clearance are pretty different. And like The Bike Chick mentioned, having the support of a shop is great for those of us not proficient at wrenching or don't want to invest time and money into tools.

[@rossejera1661]

except the R6. Its basically a xcaliber with a longer travel and with a dropper

[@richarde1355]

Man that shop has an amazing amount of inventory! I’d be broke if I lived in that area, as I would find every excuse to visit that shop as often as possible so Lori could sell me a bike.

[@nathanstark2975]

My first bike at 56 years old, was a big box. It broke in 7 days. New to bikes and no help from big box. I went to Simpson’s and bought a Roscoe. Now I may have a bike problem. My two main bikes are Top Fuel 9.8+ and Rail 9.9 AXS XX1. Simpsons take great care of customers. I had a frame crack, Trek sent a new frame in a week. It is worth the money to support local shops with techs for making upgrades and repairs.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Absolutely man, great comment Mr.Nathan. we appreciate you stopping by and watching some videos. Also thank you for the Coffees!!! Much Love and look forward to seeing you next time👍

[@slothsquatch5023]

Was that a giant cat's meow inflatable in the front of the store? Hell Yeah, a slothsquatch! Very cool to show us the insides of a bike shop and what the top sellers are and what they come with. I'd like to see the Tick riding that one wheel.

[@thebikechick80]

Oh man that one wheel . I’d sell more if I’d not be so freaked out. gotta run the shop & not be in the hospital .

[@mtbjun4936]

Nice video tick 👍 amazing Al The bike 🚲🚲

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🙏Thanks Man

[@1ajeap]

Wolf man doesn’t think Tyler is beautiful? How can you not , I mean the city is so so , but most areas are magnificent! Tyler state park is amazing !

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

I don't have any opinion on Tyler since we have only seen a small portion. When we got there it was poring rain. Sometimes The Tick just starts saying stuff out of nowhere with no knowledge of what he's talking about. It's my job to keep him under control 😉🤣. We had a great time in Tyler.

[@relaycampervan]

The Marlin 8 is a good XC bike.

[@dannytaino9116]

Always I enjoy your videos, I'm still working on getting my first mountain bike. I want to make the right decision and choice and you are providing me with a lot of options, thanks !!!

[@tryntenparker3035]

Great video guys! I love going to Simpsons for all my biking needs!

[@fetB]

wait, there are still freewheel hubs?

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

🤣🤣 isn't that crazy especially from a big brand.

[@scottmasa7774]

Public lands has the GT Aggressor pro for $420 shipped. pretty good deal.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

That's a very good deal considering what they are asking for them right now at dicks.

[@silver_jk333]

Simpsons is the best. I have broke 2 frames and they have warrantied them with no issues. I have since bought a couple more bikes from them. Awesome guys and girls there. If you are in the market use them you won’t regret it.

[@stephenbouck]

1 more thing i will say is you should always do your best to support your local shops like this its always nice to come into a shop and talk to real people that actually care about what they do so if it comes down to a gt agressor for 600ish or the trek at the local shop for like 650ish go for the trek and support your shops ppl

[@MTBAlex]

12:20 I have always loved Trek, I almost got an Marlin 8, just like that for $450, but I snoozed

[@Red_dot_randy]

Nice bikes but I love my full suspension 😎

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

[@destinhook3826]

I would love to see y’all go check out the top of the line bikes over 10k

Trek makes pretty nice bikes .

[@lastfanstanding999]

That old grandma lady knows her bikes ! 😉

[@destinhook3826]

The biggest difference between the Roscoe and the Gummy worm would obviously be boost/ thru axle vs qr dropouts.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Yep and internal routing.

[@oscarvm]

I own a X-caliber 8 white 2022,just like the one you showed,and it's been great bike,used it super technical rides,also took a 6 hours road rides .great bike,I like the hard tail better then the full suspension.

Support you're local bike shop, not walmart ;) good to see 😀 💯❤ 💪

No full suspension 🤔

They probably have bikes that range from $700 to more than $7,000. Good...glad that your at a bike shop. Trek has excellent bikes!!🤘🤘😁 I recently picked up a used (in excellent condition) Cannondale bad habit 2 for $900 its fun as all heck!!! Great video as usual!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Much love Dan, thanks brother 🙏

[@vladamirtepes5567]

That's crazy that Trek sells a "mountain bike" with a freewheel but $400 walmart bikes are coming with cassettes now. I do really like the newest Roscoe 7 but at that price I'd much rather be riding a Marin San Quentin or Ragley Big al/Marley and still have a few hundred for upgrades.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

👍 It is a little weird isn't it? But years in the bike business and a proven track record you can do that 😉 Ain't nothing wrong with pur AXUM though!! LOL

[@davegravitt210]

The hole for the dropper was 200$. 😂

[@thebikechick80]

How about the better bottom bracket and or the better Fork?

[@jackanddan]

It’s definitely nice to see what Bike shops have to offer but honestly when we go we feel that they’re just so expensive….. we were finally able to sell Jack’s old fat bike to a guy named Tyrone who is really nice and gave us 60 bucks for it he was such a nice guy we came down in price for him a little bit…. he said he’s going to put a motor on it and turn it into a little moped we told him to send us pictures and will share those pictures if he does but chances are I will never see him again but who knows

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

That was really nice of yall! But yes, the prices are a little high for named big brand bikes, but it all depends on how you ride and how often. Very cool idea from Tyrone, hopefully he sends some pics!!

[@sim_dude]

roscoe looks the best

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

👍

[@bikdav]

The Marlins are in my price range. That Marlin 4 is very attractive (and looks upgradable when the funds allow).

[@CrossFitProject]

Trek Roscoe !!! The 6 is okay but the 7,8,9 are amazing hardtails. The 6 is still old Geo specs. The 7,8,9 are way better. The R8 is the best bike I’ve ever owned.

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

Wow! That's quite a statement, thanks for watching man.

[@danboyes7477]

Interesting to see how the specs change with the prices. I love supporting local businesses and there's something about a bike shop, and they smell great too 😂😂😂 Take care my friends 😎👍🍻

Awesome support!!! Very Hot!!! I learned alot bout the Trek..

[@burningatthetrailhead]

Man. The Excalibur (alpha) was only 899.99 +tax Canadian in 2015 and it was almost speced the same. The only real difference is the 1x drive train.

[@thebikechick80]

Inflation for sure. I remember when a tube was $2.99 in 2000. Raw materials went way up. The aluminum quality is better than 2015 & the fork is way smoother & it shifts quicker.

[@kimwarner6050]

@@thebikechick80 no it's called greed

[@janeblogs324]

Watch out with these treks, they have a gaping hole in the BB, they have no chain stay or seatstay bridges. If you're heavy, ride hard, hate flexy frames or want to run 2.5-2.6" tyres these bikes are not for you

[@stephenbouck]

man treks are neat bikes i had a fuel ex 8 but honestly im not into them for a few reasons 1) is everyone and there moms seem to have trek so there just not unique like building up say a big box store bike IMO 2) they are a bit to pricey for me honestly 3) IMO they are still a big box store bike bc every "bike shop" sells them lol but hey to each there own right.

[@stlaker8139]

Wow, I would love to have a trek but couldn't justify the price difference on my axum that I bought for under 200$ from Walmart. With a few upgrades and a new sram NX groupset for 180$ I will be under the price of the marlin 6 and have a better bike in my opinion.

[@TheArimatheus]

Internal routing sucks. Unless it's a dropper. Even then, maybe more pain than it's worth, just spend the extra $40 and go AXS electronic.

[@mtbboy1993]

I have no experience with newer Trek bikes, but I've owned several Trek bikes all with various issues. Freewheels make no sense to me. Buy same with the cheapest bikes. No wonder the Roscoe with the dropper post and one by drivetrain is a popular choice. It makes sense. But I am not a Trek fan. I had trek bikes in the past. All were horrible, all had issue, but it was ist 2010 Trek 6300 xc bike, first bike I had with hydraulic brakes. But frame quality was not the best as the ehad tube was not flush. The 2010 3900, had worse geometry, but had banged up bb shell from factory, painted over. But construction was good otherwise. Stiff enough and held up well. Buy would be nice if quality of the manufacturing was better. The 2014 fuel ex was super flexy, so flexy hanger bent on every ride, tyre run, sidewall had a circle on the sidewall, bearings got pushed out too, Awful, but atleast it was rideable. But I know their newer full suspension bikes are stiffer, a friend has a newer Fuel Ex, I forgot the model number and year, but he did not have any issues, he is light kid. But he does Shred, even in bike parks, and is a master at jumping, so hos bike gets a beating. The guy seen in some of my lastest vids. But I don't know how the bigger sizes do, nor the current model. But I can't reccomend a Trek Fuel EX due to the kinked seat tube å lone. But I hope their bikes hold up better for adults now. Before it was a disaster. But geometry has improved alot. But I hate they still insist on kinked seat tube, limiting the insertion depth, and still have same chain stay length for all frame sizes, this means each size rides differently, the balance point is different.

[@mtbboy1993]

If I had a bikeshop I would only sell bikes and parts that are good enough for me. But my critiria are so strict almost no bike brands fit into it. Manufacturing process, quality, quality control is important. Sadly many brands fail in this. Just a few have features, geometry I want, the solutions I want. I've seen so much bad stuff from big brands. Sadly there are many issues. Not only from bikeshop brands but from direct to consumer brands too, even boutique brands. Commencal has dh frames tha t snap in half, very common, and production issues so they cand deliver replacements, Fox overgreases their pistons, very common issue, Trek Slash snapped head tube, a dude had that with 2 frames, I've seen many carbon frames from various brands with bottom bracket tolerance issues, the BB shell is misaligned, different dimensions on each side, not to spec, not round, it was from several well known brands, lastest I saw was from BMC, I don't remember it all, but Kingdom is a boutique brand making titanium bikes, Hambini showed an bike with awful work at the BB shell, should have not left the factory. He showed a Trek road bike frame too i think, there was awful welding and deformed bb shell, no bottom bracket could be installed on it. But that was the worst Trek frame I've ever seen. Usually their welding is decent, but that was worse than Wallmart bikes. Yeti frames seem to snap if you crash on a rock, and warranty does not cover crashes, but I think the bike is not up to the task if it can't handle tipping over, seen similar issues with Santa Cruz. I've seen specialized had issues about 2 years ago more or less with their carbon Stumpjumper I think it was. But all of these things are absurd and common. I hope the bike industry improves. But I try to get the beat stuff, so I read reviews look at all info I can, try components I think might be good. Keep the parts that pass the test. Check out Aston MTB, he buys rides, reviews, and gives bikes and parts away in a lottery. He has destroyed most of the bikes he reviewed. But there are good products out there.
